In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners will put together towers using building bricks, then take the tower apart and challenge themselves to use the same bricks used to build a bridge.

In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.

In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.

Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have improved roofing designs and materials in order to protect the contents of buildings.
